Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is known as a shrewd businessman. In the late '90s, the real estate mogul tried to jump on the booming NASCAR train, but it just didn't work out. According to USA Today, Trump was once among those involved in trying to bring NASCAR to the New York area. The story says that, at one time, there were several iterations of "Trump Speedway" concepts in and around New York City. USA Today cited Van Walling, who is doing research on tracks dreamed up, but never realized. "There was a whole bunch of Trump superspeedways proposed in the 1990s," Walling said. "Everybody was alternately looking at sites in New York or New Jersey or Connecticut." Although there have been rumors, we've yet to see The Donald put his name on a NASCAR venue.
